How to write a review on Amazon
I do have one small favor to ask everyone.
Sandy tells me there is a bit of a hurdle to jump over before Amazon will promote a new book.  What is required is for at least ten people to buy a copy and then write a review on Amazon.  Amazon measures the potential success of a book by the number of sales and reviews.  Once ten people write a review, Amazon will automatically start promoting the book and things will go viral.  As Amazon promotes it, more people buy it and then Amazon promotes it even more ... etc. etc.  The more reviews the book gets the more Amazon will promote it.
So if you buy any of my book it would be very helpful if you wrote a review in your Amazon account.  Dont email them to me.  That is nice but it is not what Amazon needs.  They need you to put it into the Amazon website  under your account.

If you are not sure how.... read on!
It is easy to write a review on Amazon.

First go to Amazon and log into your account. (important)
    If you dont have one click here.

Then find the book you want to write a revew on. Click Here

Pancakes and Coffee Breaks
or
Lox and Bagels for Brunch
or
The Coffee Cup Philosopher


Once you are on the page for the correct book, scroll way down the page until you come to this image.  (It wont look exactly like this but pretty close.)



Then click on "Write a customer review" at the bottom and type in your review.

I have put the price of the book at only $9 for the paperback and $3 for the Kindle version to start with to encourage everyone to read it and write a review.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the book and I would especially appreciate it if you could post a review on Amazon.  If you will do that for me I will buy you a cup of coffee and sign your book the next time we get together. Writing a review is very, very helpful to me because Amazon will promote a book depending on how may people buy it and how many people write a review.

It does not matter if you buy the paper back or the Kindel version.

There is also a program called Amazon Book Club or Kindle Unlimited where you can read Kindle books for free.  If you do that, it is perfectly fine. That counts towards people being interested.  In any case, it is most important to write a review after you read it and put it on the Amazon website after you log into your account.

Thanks again

Erica
